hello 5th grade of tanzania our class in the uk are learnign about east africa.Your country is in the east of Africa so can you come to our blog and give us some tips.Here is our class blog remember to click the top to see our post.http://ferrylane.creativeblogs.net/
The islands of Tanzania include Grave Island, an island almost built for a horror film, beep brown crisp leaves covering every place you step. (this is all true) It’s amazing seeing the graves and maybe you studied about a man which was bravely buried on a island and it’s about 3/4 hours off the coast of Zanzibar by boat.

Hi.
My name is Jack Sloan and I am a teacher at Ferry Lane Primary school in London. My class (Year 5) have become interested in Tanzania and East Africa, and I would love to develop a blogging link with your school.
Would it be alright for my children to write to yours, in the form of blog comments, or as emails?
Please let me know as soon as you can, as I’m keen to get started.
Thanks,
Jack Sloan
Ferry Lane Primary School,
London.
Hi Jack,
This is Sam Wiriyaphong, a tech integration coach at IST. We have already created a link to your blog site on ours and I believe we have somewhat already started the blog link. We encourage our students to visit your blog whenever they can and blog comments from your students are most welcome, as you might already know.
It is also possible to collaborate through Skype. If that is something you’re interested in, I can start by talking to the team. Keep in mind though that our Internet connection is slow and unreliable, so a level of flexibility is needed.
Hope you had a good break and talk to you soon.
Cheers,
Sam
Hello Mr.Sloan I look forward to see what your students write on the blog.

Hello Mr. Sloan. I am a student at the International School of Tanganyika in Grade 5. I would be delighted to collaborate with your students. It gives my class a chance to explain about the diverse Tanzania to your students. I would also like to know about your school.

It’s alright if your class writes to us we’d love to hear from them and what they think about our unit of inquiry, if you don’t mind would you ask them to write comments to us we’re dying to hear from you and your class!!!

Hi,
My name is Olivia. I used to live in England but not in Londen in Newcastle.
Is their a special reason why your school is called Ferry Lane Primary School.
Is your school International like ours or do all the children come from Londen or different parts of England? I heard on the news that the weather has been bad in England i hope that all the horrible weather has gone. Hope all is well.
Best Regardes Olivia
I think that it would be an excellent idea if we can talk. I would like to talk and
chat with children in your class when i’m free. 🙂
Hi I am a student at IST. I think that it would be really cool to write to your class
I love living in tanzania even though we just moved here in August but so far its great, apart from the heat.Even though its nice to have the sun and sea here all the time, sometimes I want to go back to england where its cold.

Jack,

Have a good time!

ps reply please.
This sound exciting to help and work with people I don’t know. Here in Dar grade 5 is working on one specific unit every length of time, Africa we learned has many religious people such as christianity, muslim, and many more. Here in IST we are all friend. I’d love to visit your home page.
Hope u had a good break!

I would love to be in contact with people i don’t know. Being a new kid in Dar gives me a fresh memory of places i have been to and things i have done here. Here we normally focus on a single unit for a certain time. It gives us an idea of what happens in Dar. There are many different kinds of a religion here with a majority of muslims. Tanzania used to be Tanganyika until it joined with Zanzibar and became Tanzania. East africa is a great place to live in and learn about the world.
Peace out,
Ms Awesome Jonas Head
